paranoia while high?

[roistall]

i smoked weed the other day, and i got terrified of so many things: when i couldnt see behind me, i was scared that there was a cliff there, i was hyperventilating every 2 mins because id suddenly feel like i just woke up and that everything that happened til then was a dream (every 2 mins), i just got terrified of everything and i was feeling especially scared because i thought this man was following us, almost started crying. also, i thought these people in cars were following us, or staring us down. im quite sure that that was major paranoia.
is that normal?
will it happen every time i get high? or will it change someday?
thanksss

Sounds like your weed was laced with sumthing for you to be tripping out like that

How long have you been smoking?

[Light Up]

You need to just learn to chill right out when smoking, I tend to just think of absolutely nothing when smoking which (in my experience) has given a better high as opposed to when I've been worried, stressed or have something on my mind.

maybe you shoudl try asprin for now and when you stop seeing things while on that go to pot because you may not be ready for it yet... wait atleast till middle school is over... other than that quit smoking crack and thinking it's pot or learn how to get high...

Lol, don't worry about it man it all gets better the next time you smoek a phatty

thanks guys!
i dont think it was laced cos the other people were fine, and i am in highschool, i think next time, ill just be in a normal place instead of outside where there is so much happening

It's totally normal, lots of people get paranoid when they are inexperienced. Having a chill enviroment is always a plus. After some practice you will be able to be blazed in more enviroments and still find it enjoyable.

I did weed for the first time on thursday and again on friday, and I didn't feel any paranoia what so ever. Maybe different bodies react differently to weed.

That's very true. But, I think environment and people you're around is also very important.

Anyway, my suggestion is just to calm down, take some deep breathes and just remember it IS all in your head and you're perfectly fine.

What I do if I get a little paranoid (never anything as bad as yours though...) is I just say, "I'm stoned. Enjoy it. I'm stoned. Enjoy it. I'm stoned. Enjoy it." Until I calm down.

Yeah I'm with Gothen on this one, just supress the panic reaction. We've all had bad experiences with weed (I think all of us) and don't let it ruin your opinion about this wonderful herb.
